Thank you very much Stephen.I'll make sure i write a label out for it.

My plant appears to have flowering stems that are even more dwarf than the pics you have shown.

Interestingly while using 'google' to locate a photo of Scorzonera i came across a plant named as Scorzonera tragopogonoides.

And for my final wandering comment.

I think pillock is used similarly to "bastard" here in Australia.... as a term of endearment, that technically would be meant as an insult on the married state of your parents.  I've always thought of pillock as interchangeable with "idiot", which I use as a term of endearment at times.  Here's hoping Dave actually WASN'T insulted, as I certainly read it as a term of endearment Lesley!!

Crawler !!!!!!!!!!.

[Paul T]

Nah, that's my brother Kevin!!  He was actually in the Guiness Book of Records one year for crawling 14 1/2 miles (or something like that, I can't recall exactly) around his school oval.  I think it was around the 1980 edition.  So I'd have to defer to him as the crawler in the family, not me!!

"Silly goat" would be appropriate as the plant (remember that) reminds me of a pink version of Goat's Beard (Tragopodon pratensis), aka "Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon".
